| - Dave is the man! This was my first time to Asia, and first experience using a travel agent to book a trip; I was unsure how the process worked. My trip was very complex, it was a 5 week trip I began with my Dad to Japan, Singapore and Thailand. After I met several friends in Thailand for a couple weeks, then I finished traveling by myself through Vietnam and Cambodia. Dave was extremely helpful in developing a plan that would work with all of our timelines. My itinerary went through many iterations, and had different types of speeds/activities throughout. I was able to discuss with Dave what I was looking for and the budget for the trip. He was able to use his depth of experience to come up with great ideas and locations to visit. We would discuss them, and come up with modifications if I wished. Dave made himself available morning to night for calls and returning email. He shared many other travel tips with me to help me prepare. He also checked in during my travels to see if there was anything he could do to improve or assist. He printed my full travel plan and mailed it to me so I had a hard copy, and emailed it so I had it electronically. He developed a timeline of events leading up to my trip to remind me of certain milestones (applying for visas, deposits, full payments, etc). He managed all my finances and split/itemized amounts among my Dad and friends to ensure we had everything accounted for.
I would highly recommend Dave and Ride the Wave Travel for any type of travel, but especially for people traveling somewhere new and/or with little time to research their adventure.
